LONG TITLE

- 1 - HCR009S01 compared with HCR009

General Description: This resolution supports the development of wind, solar, and geothermal energy in rural areas of the state as a complement to Utah's diversified energy system and supports the export of Utah-produced wind, solar, and geothermal energy to other states. Highlighted Provisions: This resolution: < acknowledges the important role of rural communities in the development of energy resources; < recognizes the economic and supply benefits that wind, solar, and geothermal energy development provide; < recognizes the energy market opportunities available to those states that develop wind, solar, and geothermal energy; < supports the development of wind, solar, and geothermal energy in rural areas of the state as a complement to Utah's diversified energy system; and < supports the export of Utah-produced wind, solar, and geothermal energy to other states. Special Clauses: None

Be it resolved by the Legislature of the state of Utah, the Governor concurring therein: WHEREAS, Utah's rural communities have long produced much of the energy necessary to drive Utah's economy; WHEREAS, some of these rural communities have not always enjoyed the prosperity that has come with Utah's tremendous economic growth in recent decades; WHEREAS, many of these rural communities are rich with the natural resources, including wind, sun, and geothermal resources, necessary to provide energy for Utah and the nation; WHEREAS, competitive energy markets in western states are providing new opportunities for the sale of energy across state lines; WHEREAS, Utah's natural salt dome geologic formations provide complementary cost-effective storage potential for wind, solar, and geothermal development, as well as their

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislature and the Governor support the export of Utah-produced wind, solar, and geothermal energy to other states in the West through participation in centralized and bilateral energy markets. {
